Missing fire particle

So for some reason the regular burning character particle is gone since 2-3 weeks ago. It's just not that, but many other fire particles too. Reinstalling CS:S would be the last thing i'd try, but i really don't feel like it (plus reinstalling the custom stuff)

Verifying the game cache didn't do anything, so any sort of fire is invisible. (Unless the map has custom fire)

Maybe it's something specific to that map? Do any other ZE players get that issue on that map, or just on the server in general?

From a quick google search, i don't see anything very helpful. People say try deleting your entire CSS folder manually and then letting it re-download, others say check your particles folder (which i don't even have one, so idk what crack they're smoking) and others say that it just went away eventually.
